The 67-year-old has come under intense pressure to resign as the head of world motorsport but has insisted he has "done nothing wrong".
He is taking legal action over the claims and is seeking "unlimited damages" and has also pledged to carry on as FIA president.
Mosley, the son of former British Union of Fascists leader Oswald, has also written to all members of motorsport's world governing body the FIA, as well as the World Motor Sport Council and Senate.
An FIA statement read: "The FIA can confirm that the members of the senate have unanimously approved the proposal of the president of the FIA that further to the recent press coverage relating to his private life, an extraordinary general assembly should be convened."
